ABSTRACT
An experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) 2019-20 at Crop Research Farm, Department of Agronomy, SHUATS, Prayagraj, U.P. to study the performance of wheat under System of Wheat Intensification (SWI) in comparison with conventional method. Comparing to conventional and SWI methods significantly higher plant height (85.5 cm), dry weight (28.21 g/plant) was observed in SWI (20 cm × 20 cm). Significantly higher number of tillers per hill (8.9), crop growth rate (19.16 g/m 2 /day) at 80-100 DAS was observed in SWI (15 cm × 15 cm). In yield attributes significantly higher number of grains per spike (51.5) were observed in SWI (20 cm × 20 cm). And significantly higher grain yield (4.99 t/ha) and straw yield (6.10 t/ha) was observed in SWI (15 cm × 15 cm). In economics the higher gross return (1,08,015 D/ha), net return (76,268 D/ha) and benefit : cost ratio (2.40) was observed in SWI (15 cm × 15 cm) in comparison with SWI (20 cm × 20 cm) and conventional method of sowing.
Key words :
Conventional sowing, Crop growth rate, Economics, Grain yield and Yield attributes.
